The razors #1005884? Have you tried to market them in other platforms?

Or have you published any other item somewhere else too?

you could try nostr platforms like shopstr and cypher.space if you didn't already. I know is little value, maybe too much efforts... but if in your interest, it is an opportunity to learn how this platforms work and how your nostr WoT could help spread that message out

I find those other sites not as mobile friendly. I sold some stuff on satscrap a long time ago. Haven’t checked on my account in about 2 years I would assume

Indeed, they are really new and better used from desktop. In the other side Satscrap, changed name since your last visit 🤣 (satstash) and it could be good alternative too. Never spent much energy on it, I'll sign up and explore how it works

In previous threads, I mentioned putting in a bid on a project. Just found out we won the bid. This will be enough revenue to get us through 2026, let us invest in a new product, and avoid an early raise. I can even afford to pay myself. If all goes well, I'll make another sale or two and bootstrap this to a few million in annual revenue within 2 years. Then I'll need to find money for the next stage.

As a new company, we bid low. Margins will be tight. But still. I always say you're not a real business until you have revenue. You're not real until that first dollar hits. I don't care how much your investors think you're worth on paper. It's not a business if it has zero revenue.

Now to get the contract finalized and then the real work begins...

Huge congrats! I'm really happy you got this opportunity, such a great start for a new business like yours.

Keep us posted on next steps and how are you planning to get the next contracts signed.

Thanks! There is so much to do and too little margin to hire enough people to do it, so I'm going to be busy until the end of the year when we get the bulk of the money in the back half of the contract.

This thing is in stages, and we have to prove we can execute with a small piece and then ramp up next year. It's good in that it gives me time to grow. It's bad in that I will be paying a ton of fixed start-up costs from a small bit of revenue.

My day job is in tech (specifically, web servers/websites), so my jerky biz is a side gig for now, which started as a hobby in 2019. I'm building a shoestring micro startup that provides websites/hosting for agorists called webarchist (npub1gk3wpmjt7gwd20lg2prfq6k2ra2c94qkyandhlpr6p0vnyx4yx7spw3vrs) and just currently collecting resumes for positions. Main position I need to fill is one of advisor/assistant gatekeeper. So there's that.
